Saddle Flap Bags

The shoulder bag has long been a staple of practical style. It originated from utilitarian roots, initially used by messengers, soldiers, and laborers who needed a reliable way to carry essentials while keeping their hands free. Over time, it evolved into a versatile everyday accessory, valued for its balance of form and function. Building on this heritage, I've reimagined the classic silhouette by introducing a saddle-shaped flap, drawing inspiration from equestrian tack. This subtle yet distinctive design element adds a refined curve and a sense of movement, blending tradition with a contemporary aesthetic. It is a familiar form, thoughtfully elevated.
